When it comes to buying property, perhaps the most sought after is coastal real estate, as this offers the ultimate satisfaction in seaside living.  Cape Town is renowned as one of the top holiday destinations in the world, mainly due to its endless stretch of coastline and azure blue sea.  The South Peninsula is home to a number of eclectic coastal villages that are popular choices when it comes to property investment.

The False Bay area is located close enough to Cape Town to commute to work every day, but far enough away to provide a sense of peaceful isolation from the busy city life.  Scarborough is the southernmost village on the False Bay coastline, bordering the Cape Point Nature Reserve and is known to be a dedicated conservation area.  Close to Scarborough is Misty Cliffs, which offers some of the most expensive coastal real estate in the area.  The high demand for property and the lack of land ensure that the investment value is always increasing.

Further up the peninsula lie the rural villages of Noordhoek and Kommetjie, which are both renowned for their relatively unspoiled beaches that stretch for miles on end.  It is not unusual to spot all kinds of surfers taking advantage of the wind and the waves.  The coastal real estate available in Noordhoek and Kommetjie promises the added benefit of a largely rural atmosphere, with a number of smallholdings and larger properties to buy.
